(noun)
A hyper-glossy, retro-futurist erotic visual style defined by black velvet backgrounds, white graphic eyeliner, 80s synth-
pop luxury, space-age silhouettes, and seductive lounge energy. Usually associated with
music, fashion, album art, and a universe where everyone looks like they just left a luxury sex club on the moon.
This aesthetic exists somewhere between Barbarella, Studio 54,
R&B, 1980s perfume ads, adult soap opera promo shots, and a rich woman telling her third husband to wait in the spaceship.
Common traits include:
*
black backgrounds
* metallic white/silver outfits
* dramatic white eyeliner
* glossy skin
* intimate portrait poses
* expensive-looking horniness
* synth-
heavy sonic branding
* glamorous couples, trios, and power dynamics
* futuristic lounge energy
* “this album definitely has a track called something filthy” vibes
In simpler terms:
When the
music is
nasty, the lighting is expensive, the eyeliner is architectural, and the entire room smells like whiskey, ozone, and bad decisions.
The album visuals were giving full Sexellences™ Space Lounge Glam Aesthetic: black velvet, white
eyeliner, horny synth luxury, and everyone looked like they had a yacht
parked on
Venus.
